PREFACE. 


Among  the  psalmists  of  the  Christian  Church,  Dr.  Watts  stands  pre-emineu;. 
His  Psahns  and  Hymns  have  an  established  and  consecrated  chaiacler;  and  to  Cliiis- 
tians  of  sound  piety  and  correct  taste,  it  is  matter  of  devout  gratulation  and  thanU'id- 
ness,  that  they  are  so  extensively  used,  and  so  txighly  venerated.  Tlie  Book,  however^ 
like  tlie  best  of  human  works,  has  its  imperfections.  In  regard  to  some  subjects  it  is 
redundant,  in  regard  to  others  it  is  deficient;  and  some  of  its  contents  fdl  very  consid- 
erably below  its  general  excellence.  These  imperfecdons  have  been  extensively  felt 
and  acknowledged;  and  for  the  remedy  of  them,  various  attempts  h;ive  been  made  wiih 
various  success.  By  what  i»as  been  done,  however,  the  way  has  been  opened  for  some,- 
ttiing  still  further  to  be  attempted. 

The  present  work  was  undertaken  from  no  spirit  of  inuovation;  but  from  a  sincere 
desire  for  the  improvement  and  stability  of  our  publick  Psalmody.  Oa  a  careful  exam- 
inatioa  of  Dr.  Watts's  Book,  it  was  found,  or  thought  to  be  found,  that  it  might  be  very 
oonsiderably  abridged,  without  any  detriment:— that  some  entire  Parts,  and  many 
stanzas  of  other  Parts,  of  the  Psaln^s,  and  that  some  entire  Hymns,  and  many  stanzas 
of  others,  might  very  well  be  spared;  as  the  subject  matter  and  sentiments  of  tliera, 
■were  coiitaiheei,  and  as  well  or  better  expressed,  in  what  would  still  remain.  Dy  such 
an  abridgment  some  important  advantages  would  be  gained:  redundancies  would  be 
retrenched;  passages  of  little  merit  would  be  excluded;  some  Parts  of  PssJms  and  some 
Hymns,  so  prolix  and  complex  as  seldom,  perhaps  never  to  be  given  out  in  publick, 
would  be  reduced  to  convenient  and  excellent  portions  for  use;  especially,  room  would 
be  made  for  the  admission  of  not  a  small  number  of  Select  Hymns,  from  various 
authors,  eligible  either  fgr  their  sterlmg  worth,  or  for  their  suitableness  to  supply  the 
deficiencies  of  Watts.  And  thus,  if  the  design  were  judiciously  executed,  a  body  of 
Psalms  and  Hymns  would  be  formed,  more  compact,  more  complete,  and  more  wor- 
thy of  extensive  adoption  for  permanent  use,  than  any  before  presented  to  our 
churches. 

To  the  higli  purposes  of  Psalmody,  good  and  well  adapted  Tunes  are  essentially 
requisite.  Ti>  aid  the  laudable  exertions  of  respectable  societies  and  indiviiinals,  for  tho 
general  and  established  use  of  such  tunes,  was  a  primary  object  of  this  work.  It  was 
found  to  be  the  opinion  of  many,  wel.  quaU.'ied  to  judge,  that  a  small  but  judicious  selec- 
tion of  tunes,  in  the  same  book  with  the  Psalms  and  Hymns,  would  be  useful  in  several 
respects;  as  it  might  contribute  to  restrain  the  too  common  vagrancy  of  singing  choirs, 
and  to  give  permanency  to  the  use  of  a  standard  set  of  tunes — would  be  a  great  con- 
venience to  siugers  in  the  choir,  who  might  wish  to  refresh  their  memories  in  regard 
to  the  tune  to  be  sung — and  would  be  a  help  to  many  others  in  the  congregation,  who, 
by  occasionally  casting  their  eyes  upon  the  tune,  would  be  able  to  join  in  the  peribrm- 
aucc,  of  this  pleasing,  animating,  and  exalted  part  of  divine  worship. 

The  effect  of  publick  [>salniody  is  often  exceedingly  marred  by  a  psalm  or  hymu 
being  sung  to  an  ill  adapted  tune.  The  leaders  of  singing  choirs  are  not  alsvays  per- 
sons of  good  taste  and  judgment;  and  the  best  qualified  leader  cannot  always  at  thsi 
moment,  so  fully  possess  himself  of  the  seatiuients  of  the  portion  given  out',  as  immedi- 
ately to  recur  to  a  tune  well  suited  to  express  them.  It  might  theretorc,  it  was 
thought,  be  highly  useful  to  sit  down  at  leisure,  and  refer  each  psalm  and  hymn,  not 
merely  to  the  proper  key,  but  to  a  suitable  tune. 

The  gra;>«i%!efect  of  our  publick  psnliuody  in  general  is  the  want  of  proper  e.r/jres- 
sitn.    Should  U  prcichji*  deliver  his  sormou  iii  wi  ur.;uiiniatcd,  monototion»>  mannci;>. 


*V  PREFACE. 

not  varying  the  movement,  or  quantity,  or  tone  of  voice,  nor  even  observing  the  pauses 
be  his  sermon  ever  so  good,  <n-  his  pronunciation  ever  so  exact  his  hearers  raieht 
sleep,  and  iiis  labour  be  lost.  So  the  best  ps:Um  may  b^-  sung  to  the  best  tune,  an* 
every  note,  in  the  several  parts,  oe  sounded  wiih  the  utiuc«t  exaciHcss,  and  yet  the'per- 
formaiicu  have  little  interest  or  effect.  That  perlbrma^ice  of  psalmody,  and  that  o  jly» 
is  entitled  to  be  called  good,  in  wh.cli  the  movement,  quantity,  and  tone  of  voice,  are 
well  adapted  to  the  general  suliject,  and  so  varied  as  justly  "to  expiess  the  diifereut 
thoughts,  sentiments,  and  passions.  This,  it  is  confessed,  is  an  attainment  of  no  small 
difficulty;  and  Requires  no  ordinary  degree  of  judgment  and  taste,  atteation  and  prac- 
tice. Its  importance,  however,  demands  that  evary  thing  wliicli  can  be  done  in  aid  of 
it,  should  be  done.  To  assist  singeis  extensivelv,  in  this  essential,  but  neglected  parfe 
of  good  psalmody,  no  method  appeared  more  eligible,  than  tliat  of  so  markirt"  the 
psalms  and  h)  mns,  bj  means  of  certain  symbols,  as  to  indicate,  as  correctly  as  possi- 
ble, the  requisite  variations  of  movement,  quantity,  and  tone  of  voice. 

Such  were  the  views  of  the  Compiler,  when  lie  took  up  the  design  of  this  work.  He 
^as  sensible  in  the  outset,  and  b  •came  more  and  more  deeply  so  in  the  pr(>"-ress  of 
the  undertaking,  that  it  was  a  design  of  difficult  execution,  and  of  no  ordinary  respon- 
sibility; and  in  regard  to  its  several  parts,  he  has  not  failed  to  avail  himself,  as  oppor- 
tunity offered,  of  the  judgment  of  clergymen,  musicians,  and  others,  respectable  ia 
character,  and  judicious  in  matters  of  this  kind.  From  several  of  them  he  has  received 
very  valuable  hints;  and  to  the  Rev.  Dr.  Grilfin  of  Boston,  and  the  Rev.  Mr.  Willard 
ofDeerfield,  he  is  under  particular  obligations.  Upon  liimself,  however,  the  responsi- 
bility of  the  work  at  large,  both  as  to  design  and  execution,  must  rest. 

His  Abrldi^-ment  of  /Jr.  JVatts  has  been  executed  with  a  cautious  and  trembling 
hand;  and,  he  would  fain  hope,  in  a  Planner  not  to  offend  the  pious  and  judicious  ad- 
mirers of  that  justly  venerated  psalmist.  In  regard  to  Christian  doctrine  and  senti- 
ment,  Walta  remains  imaltered  and  unimpaired;  and  in  what  is  retained  of  his  Book» 
even  the  verbal  alterations  are  very  few,  and  only  such  as  seemed  most  obviously  re- 
quisite. 

It  deserves  particular  notice,  th>..t  the  numerical  designations  of  the  psalms  and 
hymns,  parts  and  stanzas,  retained,  ar^-  the  same  as  in  \V  atts  unabridged.  No  confu- 
sion, thcrefoi-e,  need  ensue  in  a  congregation  should  the  minister  use  tliis  book,  wliile 
the  people  are  yet  furnished  wholly  or  in  part  with  the  conimou  book. 

The  Selection  of  Iliimns  from  various  .lutkors  has  been  made  with  laborious  care; 
after  a  perusal  of  all  the  Hymns  which  the  Compiler  could  well  procure,  and  with  re- 
pealed and  solicitous  revision.  To  have  adopted  all  the  hyniuE  extant  wliicii  are  good, 
vould  have  swelled  the  book  to  an  undue  size.  The  design  was  to  select  a  competent 
number  of  such  as  would  form  the  best  supplement  to  Watts;  regard  being  had  at 
once  to  intrinsic  merit,  to  particular  subjects  and  occasions,  and  ^o  variety  of  metre. 

Of  Tunes,  as  well  as  of  hymns,  it  is  much  less  easy  to  make  a  selection  than  a  col- 
lection. It  is  not  expected,  indeed,  that  singing  choirs  will  restrict  themselves  entirely 
to  the  use  of  the  tunes  contained  in  this  book,  evcit  in  the  churches,  or  congregations, 
in  which  the  book  may  be  ado[ited.  'I"he  Compiler,  however,  is  fixed  in  the  persua- 
sion, th;it  these  tunes  are  of  the  kind  of  rausiek  the  Itest  adapted  to  general  use  in  the 
houbeofCod.  While  they  have  long  borne  the  lest  of  musical  criticism,  they  are  sim- 
ple, easy,  and  grave;  while  they  will  gratify  a  highly  cultivated  taste,  they  may  be 
performed  without  difficulty  or  embarras.sing  solicitude,  by  a  common  choir,  and 
heard  without  distraction  or  wondering  curiosity,  by  a  conmon  congregation.  He  is 
also  fully  persuaded,  and  in  this-persuasion  ho  is  sure  of  the  concurrence  of  the  best 
judges,  that  the  adoption  of  a  fe\i>  well  chosen  tunes,  for  permanent  use,  would  be 
vastly  preferable  to  a  great  variety,  and  a  frequent  change.  The  prurience,  indeed, 
for  variety  and  change  is  the  bane  of  our  public  ps.'^hnody.  It  can  never  be  sufficiently 
regretted  that  good  tunes,  .is  soon  as  the  singers  have  learned  to  perform  them  with 
tolerable  correctness,  and  jast  as  the  congreg.'ttion  begin  to  be  pleased  with  them, 
should  be  capriciously  exchanged  for  others.  Good  tunes,  to  be  performed  with  any 
■  adiquatr  effoct,  must  be  perfectly  familiar  to  the  performers.  It  is  imi)ossible  that  a 
psalm  or  hymn  should  be  performed  with  proper  ex])ression,  when  the  tune  is  not 
familiar;  and  until  singing  choirs  vill  he  content  with  the  use  of  a  few  litandarJ  ttuies,.

list  entirely  excluding,  however,  the  occasional  use  of  others,  Expression,  that  most 
im!)ortaat  pan  ofgaod  musical  pertbnuance  w  II  be  but  little  kaown.  Uesidoa,  good 
■tunes  must  be  i'a.niliarized  uy  use,  bef'oi-e  tlieii-  Deputies  and  excellencies  will  bf  ni  any- 
good  'iegree  pe.ceived  and  felt;  the  longer  and  better  they  ai-e  practised,  the  more 
they  M  ill  be  loved  and  admired;  and  when  they  are  lightly  esteemed,  or  willingly  ex- 
changed for  others,  it  must  be  owing  not  to  a  familiar  acquaintance  with  them,  but  to 
the  want  of  such  acquaintance. 

/'  ass  gnvig  particular  tunes  for  the  several  psalms  arid  hymns,  regard  has  heeu 
had,  not  merely  to  the  diffei-ent  key,  but  also  to  the  peculiar  air  and  chai-acter  of  each 
tune,  and  its  appropriat-  adaptation  to  the  psalm  or  hymn  for  which  it  is  assigned. 
If  therefore,  in  any  in-ta.ice,  the  leade.-of  the  choir,  for  some  particular  reason,  think 
it  not  best  to  sing  th.;  tune,  or  either  of  the  tunes,  referred  to;  still  the  reference  may- 
be of  use,  as  a  direction  to  the  sort  of  tune,  suitable  to  be  chosen. 

Of  the  several  parts  of  this  undertaking,  that  of  marking  thi  psalms  and  hymns- 
70ith  reference  to  Ex/>ressionr  was  not  the  least  difficult.  To  indicate  indeed,  all  the 
variations,  which  a  skilful  and  well  practised  perfoi-mer  would  observe,  were  imprac- 
ticable; to  designate  some  of  the  princi;)al  of  them  only,  is  what  has  been  attempted. 
The  method  adopted  for  this  purpose  is  simple,  and  easy  to  be  understood. 

The  movement  is  divided  into  five  degrees,  which  are  supposed  to  be  indicated  by- 
five  vowels  in  Roman  letter:  viz.  a — very  slow;  e— slow;  i— common;  o— quick; 
u — very  quick:  but  in  the  actual  marking,  the  i  is  omitted;  as  it  was  deemed  unneces- 
sary for  passages  requiring  orJy  the  common  movement  to  be  marked. — ^The  quaiititi) 
Hf  voice  h  also  divided  into  five  degrees,  wliich,  in  like  niannci-,  are  indicated  by  the 
same  vowels  in  Italick  letter:  viz.  a — very  soft;  e— soft;  i — common,  hut  omitted 
in  the  marking;  o — loiul;  u — very  loud. 

In  some  passages  a  variation  is  required  both  of  movement  and  quantity.  Tha 
Pathetick  in  general,  and  some  other  kinds  of  saiitirnent,  require  the  slow  and  soft: 
this  expression  is  denoted  by  the  letter  p.  The  Grand  requires  the  slow  and  loud; 
this  expression  is  denoted  hy  the  letter  g.  The  Beautifal  requires  the  quick  aiul 
soft;  this  expression  is  denoted  by  the  letter  b.  The  Spirited  requires  tiie  quick  and 
loud;  this  expression  is  denoted  by  the  letter   s. 

Some  passages  require,  not  any  considerable  change  from  the  common,  either  in 
movement  or  quantity;  but  either  a  pecuii:u-  disiinctness  of  utterance,  or  some  pecu- 
liar  distinction  in  the  tone,  or  modnlation  of  voice.  This  expression,  or  rather  iU'-;se 
varieties  of  expression,  are  denoted  by  the  letter  d.  This  .symbol  is  intended,  not  so 
much  to  indicate  the  particnlai-  manner  of  performance,  as  to  arrest  attentio:i,  and 
notify  that  some  peculiar  manner  is  required.  Where  it  is  applied,  however,  whether 
to  passages  marked  as  quotations,  or  to  such  as  express  abhorrence,  scorn,  iiidit^na- 
tion,  or  any  other  passion  or  feeling,  the  judicious  performer  will  in  gcncrv-xl  readiiy 
perceive  the  requisite   expression. 

If  a  psalm  or  hymn  begins  without  any  symbol  of  expression,  it  is  to  be  consiuered 
as  common,  until  some  symbol  is  applied.  When  any  symbol  is  apjilied,  that  is  to  he 
considered  as  being  continued,  until  some  other  occurs.  l"he  short  dash  ( — 1  aftei- 
any  other  symbol,  denotes  the  passage  to  be  in  all  respects  common. 

The  general  character  of  each  psalm  or  hymn,  as  before  imimated,  is  intended  to 
be  designated,  by  the  tune,  or  tunes  to  which  it  is  referred;  and  in  applviuf'  the  sym- 
bols of  expression,  each  passage  of  the  psalm  or  hymn  has  been  considered  reUrively 
to  the  prevailing  character  ef  the  whole,  and  to  tlie  bearings  of  the  several  passages. 
Hence,  some  passages  are  marked  dittercntly  from  what  they  would  have  beeii,  had 
the  psalm  or  hymn  to  which  they  belong,  been  of  a  different  prevailing  character, 
or  the  passages  with  which  they  stand  connected  required  different  kinds  of  expression. 

In  the  Punctnation  regard  has  been  Iwd  to  musical  expression.  In  some  instances, 
therefore,  different  points  or  pauses  are  hiserted,  tram  -.vhat  would  have  been  used, 
had  the  grammatical  construction,  only,  been  regarded.  The  dash  is  intended  to  <lenott« 
fin  expressive  suspension  In  order  to  good  expression,  a  (risttnct  and  jndicioiT^  nh> 
Bwvance  of  the  pauses  i<j  absolutely  nefpssarv. 


Vi  PREFACE. 

Ill  referenee  tf*  persons,  tlie  relative  vho  Is  preferred  to  ikat,  because  it  is  betteo 
fbi'  musical  sound.  For  the  same  reason,  iu  reference  to  things,  that  is  preferred  to 
■ipfiich. 

It  will  not  be  unexpected  to  the  compiler,  if  not  a  few  should  consider  all  that  he 
has  done  and  said  with  reference  to  expression,  as  worthy  of  little  attention:  for  he  is 
fully  aware  that,  by  a  great  majority  even  of  singers  in  our  country,  this  subject  has 
been  almost  totiilly  overlooked.  lie  does,  however,  entertain  the  hope,  that  by  some, 
and  by  many,  it  will  not  be  lightly  regarded.  In  this  hope  he  is  strengthened  by  tlie 
knowledge  he  has  of  a  pretty  extensive  excitement,  which  promises  well  for  improve- 
ment in  this  respect.  Expression  is  certandy  the  very  soul  of  good  musical  perform- 
ance, and  cannot  be  too  earnestly  recommended.  In  singing  scliools,  and  in  mectinggi 
for  singing  the  practice  has  been  to  employ  the  time  in  merely  learning,  or  reheai's- 
ing  tunes,  with  very  little  attention  to  psalms  or  hymns.  This  is  a  capital  fault.  If 
in  those  schools  and  meetings,  a  due  propoi-tion  of  the  time  were  employed  in  sing- 
ing psalms  and  hymns,  with  particidar  regard  to  expression,  the  exercise  would  be 
vastly  more  interesting  and  improving.  Such  a  practice  would  eminently  serve  to  en- 
gage attention — to  awaken  thought  and  feeling — to  cultivate  judgment  and  taste; — 
above  all,  to  preserve  the  mindsof  singei-s  from  fickleness  and  levity — to  imbue  them 
with  the  divine  sentiments  of  Holy  Song — and  to  impress  them  with  the  importaucd 
of  singing  "with  grace  hi  their  hearts  unto  the  Lord." 

It  only  remains  for  the  Compiler  humbly  to  commend  this  Book  to  the  candour  of 
the  religious  puhlick — with  the  devout  hope,  that  it  will  piomote  their  improvement  and 
delight  in  the  higli  praises  of  (iod:  and  above  all,  to  the  favour  of  Him,  who  is  "fear- 
lid  in  praises,"  and  whose  approbation  is  the  highest  meed — with  the  fervent  prayer, 
that,  under  his  gracious  blessing,  it  may  contribute  to  the  advancement  of  his  greaj 
salvation,  and  to  the  glory  of  his  adorable  Namk.

W7ie  Way  and  End  of  the  Righteous  and 
tlie  Wicked. 

1  X>LEST  is  the  man  v/ho  shuns  the 
O     place. 

Where  sinners  love  to  meet; 
Who  fears  to  tread  their  wicked  waj's. 
And  hates  the  scofter's  se&t. 

2  But  in  the  statutes  of  the  Lord, 
Has  plac'd  his  chief  delic;ht; 

By  day  he  reads  or  hears  the  word. 
And  meditates  by  niglit. 

O  4  Green  as  the  leaf,  and  ever  fair 

Shall  his  profession  shine; 

While  fruits  of  holiness  appear. 

Like  clusters  on  the  vine. 

p  5  Not  so  the  impious  and  unjust; 
What  vain  designs  they  form! 
Their  liopes  are  hlown  away  like  dust. 
Or  ohaff,  before  the  storm. 

g6  Sinnei"S  in  judgment  shall  not  stand 
Amonn;st  the  sous  of  grace,      [harid. 
When  Christ  tJie  Judge,   at  his  i-ight 
Appoints  hin  saints  a  place.

Shun  the  broMdway  that  sinners  go; 
Who  hntes   the  plate  where    atheists 
And  fears  to  talk  as  scoffers  da    [meet,

And  tremble  at  his  word.

There's  no  relief  in  heav'n; 
And  all  my  sweUiug  sins  appear 
Too  big  to  be  foigiv'n.

Slialt  on  the  tempter  tread; 
Shalt  silence  all  my  threat'ning  guilt. 
And  raise  my  droojing  head.

And  thine  Almighty  help  was  nigh. 

3  Supported  by  thy  heav'nly  aid, 
I  laid  me  down  and  slept  secure; 

Not  death  should  make  my  heart  afraid. 
Though  I  should  wake  and  rise  no  more.

Bow  down  a  gracious  ear  again.

To  turn  my  glory  into  shame; 
How  long  will  scoffers  love  to  lie. 
And  dare  reproach  my  Saviour's  name. 

3  Know  that  the  Lord  divides  his  saints 
From  all  the  tribes  of  men  beside: 

He  hears  the  cry  of  penitents. 

For  tlie  dear  sake  of  Christ  who  died. 

4  When  our  obedient  hands  have  done 
A  thousand  works  of  righicousness,

And  glory  in  his  pard'ning  grace.

Great  God,  ray  faith  and  hope  relies 
Upon  thy  grace  alone.

To  taste  thy  mercies  there;

In  some  wide  lonesome  wilderness.

How  lovely  are  its  charms! 

I  am  for  peace;  but  vhen  I  speak.

And  keep  their  malice  strong; 

What  shall  be  done  to  curb  thy  rage, 
O  thou  devouring  tongue! 

6  Should   burning    arrows    smite  thee 
Strict  justice  would  approve;     [^tliro'

Hast  set  his  blood  before  our  face — 
To  teach  the  terrours  of  thy  name. 
And  shew  the  wonders  of  thy  grace.

1  CANNOT  persuade  myself  to  put  a  full  Period  to  these  Divine  Hymns,  until  I 
have  addressed  a  special  Song  of  Glory  to  God  the  Father,  the  Son,  and  the 
Holy  Spirit.  Though  the  Latin  name  of  it,  Gloria  Patri,  be  retained  i'l  the  Eng- 
lish Nation  from  the  Roman  Chureli;  and  though  there  may  be  some  Excesses  of 
superstitious  Honour  paid  to  tiie  woids  of  it,  which  may  have  wrought  some  unhap- 
py prejudices  in  weaker  Christians;  yet  I  believe  it  still  to  be  one  of  the  noblest 
parts  ot  Christian  Worship.  The  suliject  of  li  is  the  doctrine  of  the  Trinity,  whicU 
is  that  peculiar  Glory  of  the  Divine  Nature,  that  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  has  so  clearly 
revealed  unto  .Men,  and  is  so  necjessary  to  true  Christianity.'  The  Action  is  Praise, 
-which  is  one  of  the  most  complete  and  exalted  Parts  of  huavenly  Worsliip.  I  have 
cast  the  Sons  into  a  Variety  of  Forms,  and  have  fitted  it,  by  a  plain  Version,  or  a 
larger  Paraphrase,  to  be  sung  either  alone,  or  at  the  cpnclusiou  of  another  Hymn. — '■ 
I  have  also  added  a  few  HuSiinnas,  or  Ascriptions  of  Salvation  to  Christ,  in  the  same 
Manner,  and  for  the  same  End.

And  spread  celestial  joys  around.

\y  My  waking  thoughts  attend; 
In  whom  are  founded  all  my  hope. 
In  whom  iny  wishes  end.

Thy  boundless  love  survevs; 

—And  fir'd  with  grateful  zeal,  prepares 
The  sacrifice  of  prjut.e. 

c  3  When  evening  dnmbers   press   my 
With  thy  protection  blest,  [eyes,

My  weary  limbs  to  rest. 

o  4  My  spirit  in  thy  hands  secure. 
Fears  no  a])proach.r.g  ill; 
Foi-  whether  uaklng,  or  asleep. 
Thou,  Lord,  art  with  me  still. 

o  5  Then  will  I  daily  to  the  world 
Thy  «ou<h(ius  acts  proclaim; 
Whilst  all  with  me  shall  praise  and  sing. 
And  bless  the  Sacred  Name. 

e  6  At  morn,  at  noon,  at  night,  I'll  still 
Thy  j.'rovf  ing  work  pnisue; 

s    And  thee  alone  will  praise,  to  whom 
Eteriud  praise  is  due.  Bi'ust.

Not  one  soul  forgot  or  missing; 

None  his  orders  counteriuand: 
a  All  stand  waiting — 

For  their  last  decisive  doom! 

— 4  Hear  the  Chief  among  ten  thousanS; 

Thus  address  his  faithful  few:

HE  Gamut  is  a  scale  of  musick,  comprising  seven  primary  notes. 
It  is  divided  into  three  parts,  Bass,  Tenor  or  Treble,  and  Counter, 
which  are  distinguished  by  three  different  Cliffs  ;  and  to  the  notes  are 
applied  the  seven  letters,  A,  B,  C,  D,  E,  F,  G,  and  the  four  names, 
mi,  fa,  sol,  la. — Every  eighth  note  is  considered  the  same  in  nature  as 
the  first  J  and  is  always  on  the  same  letter  repeated,  and  of  the  same 
name.

Of  the  seven  primary  notes  fivfe  are  whole  tones,  and  two  are  semi- 
tones. In  the  natural  scale,  the  semitones  are  between  B  and  C,  and 
li.  and  F  ;  but  their  places  may  be  altered  by  flats  and  sharps.— Mi  is 
the  governmg  note.  Ascending  in  ord^r,  above  mi  the  notes  are  fi, 
sol,  la,  fa,  sol,  Ifi;  descending  below  mi  they  are  %  sol,  fa,  IL  so],  fi  z 
then  mi  returns.  7,7V,, 

The  natural  place  for  mi  is  on  B. 
If  B  be  flat,  mi  is  on     -     -      -     E 


If  B  and  E  be  flat,  mi  is  on  -  A 
If  B,  E  and  A  be  flat,  mi  is  on  D 
If  B,E,A  and  D  be  flat,  mi  is  on  G 


But 
If  F  be  sharp,  mi  is  on     -     -    F 
If  F  and  C  be  sharp,  mi  is  on     C 
If  F,C  and  G  be  sharp,  mi  is  on  G 
If  F,C>G  and  D  be  sharp,  mi  is  on  D

iiHiiiiiiiiiilil 

The  five  lines,  on  which  the  notes  of  musick  are  placed,  are  called 
a  Staff. 

A  Flat  at  the  beginning  of  a  tune  changes  the  place  of  mi ;  and  set 
before  a  note,  sinks  it  half  a  tone. 

A  Sharfi  at  the  beginning  of  a  tune  changes  the  place  of  ml ;  and  set 
before  a  note,  raises  it  half  a  tone, 

A  Natural  restores  a  note  from  flat  or  sharp  to  its  natural  sound, 

A  Dot  or  Point  of  Addition,  aflixed  to  a  note  or  rest,  adds  one  half 
to  its  original  length. 

The  Figure  3  or  Mark  of  Diminution,  reduces  three  notes  to  the 
time  of  two. 

A  Hold  prolongs  a  note  indefinitely. 

Ledger  Lines  are  added  when  notes  ascend  or  descend,  beyond  the 
compass  of  the  staff. 

A  Slur  connects  any  number  of  notes  which  are  to  be  sung  to  one 
syllable. 

Choosing  JVotes  give  libertyvifr  singing  either,  or  both  of  them,  at 
pleasure. 

Marks  oj" Distinction,  direct  ih^.^he  notes  be  sung  vi^ith  emphatical 
distinctness, 

A  Refieat  is  placed  at  the  beginning  and  end  of  a  strain,  or  passage, 
which  is  to  be  sung  twice. 

A  Brace  shews  how  many  parts  move  together. 

A  Bar  divides  the  notes  according  to  the  time. 

A  Double  Bar  denotes  the  end  of  a  strain  of  the  musick,  or  of  a  Une 
of  the  poetry.  » 

A  Close  shews  the  end  of  a  tune. 


TIME. 

Time  is  of  three  kinds.  Common,  Triple,  and  Com|feund,,/ 
Of  Common  Time  there  are  four  Modes,  which  are  distinguished 
as  follows  : 

First,  ^jg^  Second,  ~£ IE  Third,  -^~  fourth,  ^^^ 

The  first  three  modes  have  a  semibreve  or  its  equivalent  in  each 
bar  ;  the  last  has  a  minim. 

The  first  mode  has/owr  beats  to  a  bar,  two  down  and  two  up,  each 
in  a  second. 

The  second  mode  is  like  the  first,  only  one  fourth  faster. 

The  third  mode  has  two  beats  to  a  bar,  each  in  a  second,  one  down 
and  one  up. 

The  fourth  mode  has  also  two  beats  to  a  bar,  one  fourth  quicker 
than  the  third. 

In  all  the  modes  of  Common  Time,  the  accented  parts  oiihah^v 
are  the  first  and  third. 

Of  Triple  Time  there  are  three  INIodes. 


RUDIMENTS. 


First,  -g-     Second,  -^Z    Third,  -g- 

z:^z  zitr  Zii_ 

The  first  mode  has  three  minims  or  their  equivalent  in  a  bar ;  the 
second,  three  crotchets  ;  the  third,  three  quavers. 

All  the  modes  of  Triple  Time  have  three  beats  to  a  bar,  two  down, 
and  one  up. 

The  first  mode  allows  one  second  to  a  beat ;  the  second  is  one 
fourth  faster  than  the  first ;  and  the  third,  one  fourth  faster  than  the 
second. 

In  Triple  Time,  the  firincifial  accent  is  on  the  first  part  of  the  bar  : 
a  smaller  accent  on  the  third. 

Of  Compound,  there  are  two  Modes  : 

Zfiz  Second,  -§- 

The  first  mode  has  six  crotchets  in  a  bar ;  and  two  beats,  each  in  a 
second. 

The  second  mode  has  six  quavers  in  a  bar ;  and  two  beats,  one 
fourth  faster  than  the  first. 

The  accented  parts  of  the  bar  in  Compoimd  Time,  are  the  first  and 
third. 

These  rules  respecting  time  may  be  of  use  to  the  learner  ;  yet  the 
movement  in  the  same  mode,  and  in  the  same  tune,  is  variable,  and 
should  be  slower  or  quicker,  according  to  the  subject  of  the  song. 


First, 


KEYS. 

There  are  two  natural  keys  in  musick  ;  viz-  A  minor  and  C  major. 

The  key  note  is  the  last  note  in  the  Bass.  This  note  is  always 
either  la  or  fa,  the  next  below,  or  the  next  above  mi :  if  la,  it  is  the 
minor,  or  flat  key  ;  if  fa,  it  is  the  major  or  sharp  key.  The  minor 
key  has  the  minor  third,  sixth,  and  seventh — the  major  key,  the  ma- 
jor third,  sixth,  and  seventh — above  the  key  note.
